Big welcomes and fresh starts at CES! ✂️🍎
Today, our newest teachers officially cut the ribbon on their very first classrooms! To help them kick off their teaching stories, each new educator is paired with a dedicated mentor to support and guide them all year long.
Building a community where teachers thrive so our students can shine—that’s the CES way. Soon, these hallways will be full of laughter, learning, and life-changing moments.
Join us in welcoming the newest members of our CES family:
Miss Emily Bell
Miss Halle Hill
Mr. Sheldon Rader
Here’s to Year One! 🎉
Thank you to Century 21 Farm & Home for treating our staff to refreshing sodas today! We truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity—it was the perfect afternoon pick-me-up! 🥤❤️
Growing our skills to help our students grow! 📖 Today, CES educators participated in professional development facilitated by Missouri State Literacy Coach Morgan Skaith. The session focused on rich read-alouds, high-impact questioning, and deep comprehension tasks across all grade levels. We can't wait to bring these ideas into the classroom! 🎒
CES teachers and staff are back and ready for a great year! We’re kicking things off with professional development meetings and trainings as we prepare, learn, and grow together for the year ahead. 📚🍎✨
CES teacher letters have officially been mailed to all of our kindergarten through 5th-grade students! 📬✏️
We know our students and families are excited to find out who their teacher will be for the 2026–27 school year!
When your letter arrives, please be sure to read it carefully, as it contains important information, including Open House/first day of school registration, school supply lists, and other back-to-school details.
If you have not received your child’s letter by Friday, August 21, please contact the CES office at 660-240-3315.
We’re looking forward to welcoming our students back for another great school year! 🍎📚

This summer, our staff has continued learning and growing through professional development focused on reading, writing, real-world learning, STEM, and effective behavior strategies—all with one goal in mind: helping our students succeed and making our District even stronger.
We are incredibly thankful for a staff that is dedicated to continuous learning, professional growth, and finding new and innovative ways to support every student.
Their commitment makes a difference, and we’re excited to put this learning into action this school year! 🍎✨

CES is thrilled to host Pathways to Reading training again this summer! Educators from CES and surrounding districts are spending three days diving into the Science of Reading.
A huge thank you to our incredible trainer, Jill Littlejohn! Jill is an elementary educator in the Blue Springs School District and a past Teacher of the Year. We are incredibly lucky to learn from her expertise as she equips teachers to effectively assess and support K-2 beginners and upper-grade striving readers.
